Issue with libfakeroot.so upon makepkg of xmonad-darcs

Hi everyone
I'm new to arch, and instantly fell in love. Only one glitch persists:
To make the story short: Java stuff with jre1.7 (no matter what version, sun or openjdk) does not get keyboard input. According to https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 => Arch users must install darcs-xmonad. I did that and got:
darcs: error while loading shared libraries: libfakeroot.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when issuing makepkg.
fakeroot is installed correctly and registered in ld.conf.d (to be sure, I even symlinked into /usr/lib).
Anyone an idea? It is pretty important to me, as I need to get some Java applications running under xmonad. Last resort would be to fall back to jre1.6 though.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I've been having the same issues with java apps (intellij-idea) so I had to install xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs from AUR.
I've fixed the error you mentioned by adding a package() section to the PKGBUILD
Here's my updated PKGBUILD for xmonad-darcs
And here's the one for xmonad-contrib-darcs
Cheers!

Minor issue with open parameters upon initial PDF load

Hello, everyone.
I am experiencing an odd issue with using open parameters to view a PDF in a browser window.
We are using ColdFusion Server 9.0.1 (soon to upgrade to 10) and the Solr Collection Server that is bundled with it. The server is updating the collections on a daily basis via Scheduled Tasks.
When a user (okay.. it's me.. still in testing mode) uses the form to search the collection of PDFs for a specific keyword (let's use "petroleum"), the collections indicate that there are about 31 PDF files that contain the word "petroleum". Most of them (when opened via "http://domain.com/pdf_file_a.pdf#search="petroleum"&zoom=100") will highlight the word "petroleum" in the document, every time.
However, there are some PDFs that when opened will indicate that there are ZERO instances of "petroleum" in the document. But if you refresh the browser, it suddenly finds three instances that it didn't see the first time.
Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a fix or work-around for it?
Thank you,
^_^

Anyone?

Xmonad-darcs issue with pacman, yaourt and manually aur/abs [SOLVED]

I'm having the craziest hard time trying to install xmonad-darcs. I can pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib fine, but when I copy some nice configs that I see a lot of modules cannot be found after starting x.

Multiple Issues with Adobe Creative Cloud app.

I'm having multiple issues with the Adobe Creative Cloud app.
1. Neither Photoshop CC nor Prelude CC get past the 47% mark when installing. They constantly give me "Installation Failed" messages. When I click on "Learn More", I'm told that:
"Installation Failed
Errors during Installation.(7)
More Information"
So naturally, I click on More Information to get the following thrown at me (none of which I understand):
Exit Code: 7 Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s) ERROR: 12/01/13 13:16:06:425 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 6076 | ---------- CustomHook_Helperx64 ---- Start ---------- 12/01/13 13:16:06:426 | [ERROR] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 6076 | Cannot load function name 'CSInstallerCustomHookProc' from library C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\uninstall\{5F816B76-62F3-41C9-B651-27F49F25F50B}.data. Error 0 ERROR: System check returned with error : -4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. I installed Lightroom 5, then uninstalled it. When I went back to re-install it, the Adobe Creative Cloud app wouldn't let me. It states that my Lightroom 5 is "Up to date" and is in my "Your Apps" section, not in the "Find New Apps" section. I've double checked my Programs and Features in Control Panel, and it's not there. I cleaned my registry, and it's still there. I deleted the "opm.db" file in my OOBE folder, and restarted CC - still nothing.
I've got to say, guys. I'm not very happy with the amount of time I've spent just trying to install programs on my PC. While the plan is for this to be intuitive at some point, it's not very functional at the moment. Any help you can provide me would be amazing - if you can provide it sooner than later, I'd be over the moon.
Thanks.

I fixed it. I fixed it on my own. My journey took over a week (forty hours of back and forths, trial and error, and service!!) and included multiple calls, multiple online chats, unanswered forum posts, Twitter conversations with the Adobe Customer Service team, remote access sessions with Adobe technical teams, and finally this series of emails. In the end, I had to figure it out myself. I'm not happy - not with the time it took, and not with the level service I received based on the urgency that I made clear.
For anyone else that had this issue (or similar), here is what I did to fix it. This may seem excessive, but that's because I didn't know what else to do. Some of these steps may be redundant, or not required... but I wouldn't know because once I saw that it was working, I just kept going.
Anyway, here is the solution I came upon (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit):
1) I uninstalled every single Adobe product (including Flash Player, Acrobat Player, Air, and Digital Editions).
2) I ran the Cleaner Tool (which is not very good) and came across errors in trying to delete certain folders.
3) I restarted my computer in Safe Mode, and logged into Windows 7 under my Administrator account.
4) I manually went into every folder that contained the words "Adobe" and deleted everything. This includes my Program Data folder, my Program Files folders (both x86 and 64-bit), my AppData folders, my Roaming folders, my Temp folders - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that contained any trace of Adobe, I deleted.
5) I ran Microsoft Disk Cleanup and Piriform CCleaner to clean my registry and temp files.
6) I restarted my computer using the normal boot process and logged into Windows as Administrator.
7) I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud installer.
8) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
9) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Premiere Pro.
10) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
11) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Photoshop.
12) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
13, 14, 15...) I ran the Creative Cloud installer and installed whatever programs I needed, then I IMMEDIATELY restarted my computer before installing anything else.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Issue with Upgrading to 2nd Generation MotoX

Dear Verizon Wireless and Motorola Mobility,
Your 2nd Generation Moto X Upgrade program is fatally flawed and my experience highlights everything that could possibly go wrong when attempting to upgrade an existing plan.
As Verizon replied to my tweet (my twitter name is @melting_plastic), “Getting a new phone should be an exciting time.” but my experience has been everything but that.
My current phone is a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. This was my first entry into the Android operating system and I fell in love. As a former Blackberry user, I was a bit hesitant to switch but upon receiving this phone in May of 2012, I had nothing but a great experience with it. This experience made want to continue with a Motorola phone upon my next available upgrade and I had waited to upgrade my phone until the newest Motorola phones were announced. I put off my upgrade for over 5 months waiting for the announcement of a new phone with my current phone deteriorating. The battery life has dropped to less than 2 hours and it has begun to freeze constantly with all the upgrades to software that it is unable to handle. Due to these issues, I checked every day waiting for an announcement of the new Moto X to be release and was finally happy when it was announced it would be released on September 27th for Verizon.
On the morning of Friday September 27th, I attempted to order my phone, a 32gb model, through the MotoMaker website and my first issue arose. Even though I was eligible for an upgrade, the MotoMaker website required a credit check for me to upgrade. As I am not the primary account holder, I did not feel comfortable inputting my father's information for a credit check. I also felt it was not necessary as I was paying the $149.99 by my credit card and the account has been with Verizon since the mid 1990's while it was still Bell Atlantic. As I was eligible for an upgrade and not a new account, it seemed a bit much that this credit check was needed. After searching the internet, I found many posts from the original Moto X release about this issue and the solution was to go to a Verizon Wireless store and pre-purchase the phone there and use the provided pin to order the phone at the MotoMaker website.
During my lunch break on September 27th, I visited the Wireless Zone retailer in Malvern Pennsylvania and waited for over 45 minutes to talk to an associate in an attempt to pre-purchase this phone and receive a pin for the website. This associated had no information about the ability to purchase this pin nor could he order the 32gb model directly for me. He apologized to me about the wait and his inability to fulfill my order but recommended me to go to a retail Verizon Wireless store as they may be able to help me.
After returning to work, I decided to attempt to discuss my issue using the Verizon Wireless help chat on its website. The operator suggested to call the Verizon support line and that they should be able to help me on this purchase. I proceeded to place the call, once again waiting on hold for 30 minutes, until I finally was able to talk to a representative. This representative was unable to help me but transferred me to another department that may be able to. After a brief hold, I was transferred to an individual who was finally able to help me out. He informed me that the 32gb model was not in the Verizon system but was expected to be added on October 1st. He apologized for the wait but at least he was able to provide me with valid information.
On Saturday October 4th, I visited the Verizon Retail location in King of Prussia Pennsylvania and once again waited 45 minutes before being seen by a representative. This time I was helped by an associate named Jeremy who knew exactly what I meant by purchasing a pin. After a bit of struggling to properly place the order, the order was placed with the help of a manager, at the price of $199.99 with a $50 mail-in-rebate. This became the 2nd area of disappointment. Not only did I have to wait to purchase this phone but I had to pay an increased rate up front and needed to send in for a mail-in-rebate. I thanked Jeremy for his help and headed back to my residence 15 miles away.
Once home, I attempted to place the order for my phone. As I live 100+ miles away from the primary account address, I had planned to have the phone shipped to my work as I had done when I purchased my Droid Razr Maxx. The MotoMaker website prevented me from changing the shipping address and I was once against frustrated by this process. I used the MotoMaker online support tool and they informed me that I must contact Verizon and they can adjust the shipping address as each PIN has a pre-defined shipping address attached to it.
I called Verizon's technical support line at approximately 4:30PM from my home phone. After once again waiting on hold for half an hour, I was finally connected to an associate and she was very friendly and attempted to help me with my shipping issue. She understood my frustration and placed a 3-way call between her, myself and Motorola support. During this call, she and myself became very frustrated with Motorola support staff as they refused to adjust the shipping address and stated that there was nothing that they could do. She apologized to me and suggested that I return to the King of Prussia location and attempt to sort it out there.
Begrudgingly, I returned to the Verizon location and once again waited to speak to Jeremy. He apologized for my situation and saw the only way to rectify it was to have FedEx adjust the shipment address after it had been shipped. He informed me that any charges that would be incurred to do so would be credited to my account if I returned to the store with the receipt.
I returned home and attempted to place the order again. This time I was able to adjust my shipping address and placed the order. While doing so, I received an error message and was instructed to call Motorola's support line. I called this line at around 7:45PM and spoke to a gentleman named Christian. He opened up support case 141005-006808 and informed me that because of my attempt to change the shipping address, this was why the error occurred. He instructed me to attempt to replace the order using the original supplied address and e-mail account and that I “must” use the Chrome web browser. This statement of having to use the Chrome browser was a complete fallacy and he refused to accept that any other browser could be used to properly order the phone. I installed the Chrome browser, attempted to order the phone and this time I was informed that my PIN was already used, likely during the original failed attempt. Christian informed me that he must escalate the issue and it would take an additional 24-48 hours. The simple act of creating a new PIN should not take this amount of time.
On Monday October 6th, I was finally able to get in contact with another associate from Motorola who was instantly able to create a new PIN for me. I once again placed the order and this time it went through with no issue, order number 00789348. The only disappointment was that I now had to wait until “approximately October 27th” to receive my new phone. During my waiting period, I periodically check the MotoMaker website and during that time, noticed that they offered an additional $50 discount on the Verizon Moto X which would have brought my total down to $99.99. So on top of the additional wait and disappointment, I had now paid $100 over the current price through MotoMaker .
On Tuesday, October 22nd, I finally received the e-mail stating that my phone had shipped and was due to arrive in Forked River, NJ on October 23rd. Using the FedEx website, I attempted to adjust my shipping address to my work, at the cost of $30 and a delay until Friday October 24th. I was unable to perform this action and then attempted to adjust the shipping address to the location I would be at Friday night (my sister's house) for the same delay, but only a cost of $5. Once again I was unable to perform this action and decided to call FedEx directly. After speaking to the associate at FedEx, she informed me that the only way to adjust the address was to have the shipper, Motorola Mobility adjust the address. With my previous issues with Motorola, I knew that this request would be denied. At this point, my only recourse is to have my parents ship me the phone to my work once they receive it on October 23rd. Even then, I'm unsure if FedEx will leave the phone at the location without a signature if no one is there to sign for it, which is why I attempted to ship the phone to my work.
At this point, I'm extremely dissatisfied with both Verizon and Motorola with how this whole situation has transpired. I feel a though I should have purchased an Apple iPhone 6 even though I am not a fan of the iOS platform or a different Android OS manufacturer. As a Fios account holder, I am also tempted to switch to the competition after 3+ years of being a customer. I feel that both Motorla and Verizon failed to rectify any hardship I had experienced in my attempt to purchase this phone and even now fear that I will not receive my phone in time to mail in mail-in-rebate which needs to be postmarked by November 1st.

MPerreca, This is quite a lot for you to have to go through! We surely don't want to lose your business as we appreciate your loyalty with us. I understand the challenges that can come in needing the shipping address changed on your phone orders. I'm glad to learn that the phone is now on it's way.
I'm confident that you'll be fine with submitting the rebate for your phone. If you do run into troubles with the submission, please let us know. You can also pre-submit your rebate information, here: http://bit.ly/1kKwKJK. Let us know if you have further concerns.

When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?

Admittedly, this problem has been going on since Apple released the core iOS 8 software, but it's glaring (worse) here. Let's go to the beginning.
I own an iPhone 4S 8gb and upon release of the core iOS 8 software, I installed it like a fool and I didn't know that a lot of problems came with it, so the next morning, my iPhone's internet (connected to a WiFi network) was shotty as sin and I really needed it at the time because of a Transit thing I was doing until recently. The features that came with the iOS 8 is impressive, but I also was shocked when I couldn't even listen to my music for a whole day (I fixed that when I hooked up and synced in iTunes), despite my library having the same number of songs before the update on the iPhone. Now, I've heard of these problems from a friend who apparently works for the Apple tech department days after I discovered them myself, so I waited for the next update in hopes that it'd fix all of the core iOS 8's problems, but... short and to the point, this update is even worse than the core software. Problems include, but not limited to:
Safari lags like crazy at times, especially when you're trying to type something. Also, Safari seems to not direct you to Google unless you searched for the topic again; I don't like doing that. I like typing in a research topic in Google's engine only once.
Siri is much worse than the 7.1.2 software; the assistant can't tell what you're saying 69% of the time. I'm also not pleased with holding the home button to speak to the assistant and continue holding it until you finish speaking to her/him.
Apps freeze and become unresponsive and in common cases, they crash in the middle of the night (a perfect example would be YouTube) while I'm sleeping (not 100% sure who's to blame for this, Apple or the app developers themselves).
(refer to the lagging Safari bullet) The keyboard lags on you badly and I'm not just talking about Safari, this problem is every where you need the keyboard in, including basic texting in iMessage.
The Music app apparently can't judge your selection at times, like, when you select a song from your library, it takes 3 hard pushes on the touchscreen to select it and sometimes, it randomly selects the next song under the one you want to listen to.
Did I mention the constant lag?
I'll probably find more problems as I scan though the iPhone tonight, but above are the main problems that I have with 8.0.2, not 8. I know what you're probably saying: "Why not just downgrade back to 7.1.2 where you didn't have barely any problems at all with your iPhone?" Well, apparently, Apple stopped signing the software when I tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes to that firmware, so I find it completely pointless to try to downgrade. My core question is "When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?" I know the iPhone 4S can work with the newest iOS, because, if it wasn't, iTunes wouldn't have notified me of the update. I was thinking of getting an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus June or July of next year, but if the software is still buggy at the time, I'll stick to my 4S until my contract ends at the end of 2015

Also, I've noticed that the 4S' battery life is horrible even if there's just music going on in the background. Common battery life for the iPhone is 3 hours (just having music and data active) and most of the time, I'd have to carry my USB charging cable with wall socket so I don't have to worry about it shutting down on the go and I know it's the software that's the problem because it wasn't like this prior to iOS 8.0.2 or even the core iOS 8. Common battery life for the iPhone on iOS 7.1.2 was atleast 7-9 hours on the same conditions as listed above.

Performance Issues with Location Services

I am having performance lag issues with most apps with location services turned on. This is a new issue that has crept up after update to iOS 4.2.1. Apps get slow and upon exiting the location service is still active as indicated by arrow icon in top right of screen. Any recommendation short of killing all location services? Note this even occurs in apple apps such as photos.

Have you tried basics from the manual?
restart.
reset.
restore.

Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter Having Issues with My Samsung 40" HDTV

So I ordered the brand new 15" i7 Macbook Pro along with the Apple wireless magic mouse and wireless keyboard after having bought my HDTV (went on a bit of a spree) with the intention of using the TV as a monitor for couch surfing. But, upon hooking up the adapter to the TV, my macbook's screen flickered between that blue transitionary screen and it's desktop screen. It did this for a few minutes. I jiggled the cable thinking that there was a loose connection somewhere as that was the problem with my previous mini DVI to VGA adapter from Apple. I did a little research and it turns out that they released a firmware update in 2009 for such a problem. I downloaded the update and attempted to install it but it did not determine that there was even an adapter connected. So, I proceeded to call Apple, they man was very calming to talk to and make all of my problems seem to melt away, but there were no solutions reached. He thought that maybe my TV either had a problem or was incompatible with the adapter (incompatible with a VGA connection? can you get any more analoge that that?). So, here I am, the adapter seems not to have a problem with regular monitors but I am still experiencing intermittent disconnects from my TV. I still, superstitiously jiggle the connection whenever I have dropouts but that really doesn't seem to be the issue here (or at least I hope not because that could mean port issues with my new laptop). Any suggestions? I noticed, after changing some settings on my TV, in an attempt to remedy this, that the TV was displaying the picture funny, I turned the TV off and then on again and it fixed the problem. That being said, perhaps I just need to turn my TV completely off when I'm not using it, as I have been just letting it go into standby. Maybe it needs a restart every so often much like my computer. I don't currently have data to support that theory as I just recently tried turning it off, but, since then have not had dropouts.

You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

Hi! So I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I am having some trouble issues with sharing documents on Google.

I am part of a 2 person group, who's entering a documentary for the NHD competiton. If you don't know what that is here's a link: http://www.nhd.org. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that my partner and I, we're using Final Cut Pro X to make the documentary. I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial on my MacBook Pro so I could work on our documentary at home. My partner Cecilia, wanted to work on it as well, but using Windows Media Player or something like that. My family uses a lot more Apple than windows. So I come home, work a little on our documentary, go under file ---> share ------> masterfile---> settings-----> Video Codec -----> H.264. A couple seconds/ miniutes (it didn't take very long) later, I see our documentary as a Quick Time file pop up under my documents. I then log into gmail. i click compose, type in my partners e-mail, and then click the little paper clip to attach my new quick time file. Considering that it's 11 minutes long and is filled with media and audio, It's no suprise when I see that it exceeds the limit of ...gigabytes i think. So i send it to her using google drive. However, a couple minutes later, my partner says that she can see the file, but can't seem to download it. I double-check and make sure that I, as the owner, allowed her to edit the file. Then I check to see if i accidently clicked: "Prevent viewer from downloading" which I hadn't. Then i, myself, click on the file and click download and it works fine for me, but apparently doesn't work at all for her windows computer. This means that there's somethig wrong with her computer, or I did something wrong while sharing the file. Any ideas as to why the whole downloading process worked on my Apple Laptop and not her Windows Computer?

These links might provide some information that may be of help.

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

Issues with Firefox hogging resources...

I have several issues with Firefox intermittently consuming 99-100% of my CPU memory. Now, let me preface this by saying that I am NOT an advanced user, and can only tell you what I see on things like the Task Manager and such. Furthermore, I know that you guys know about some of this stuff - at least, I am pretty sure you do - but I am nowhere near comfortable enough to mess with any command line... stuff... in Firefox. I just am not knowledgeable enough about the program, and I don't want to 'break' it (lol). Anyway, down to business. Here are the issues I am having:
1. Upon startup, Firfox takes between 30 seconds and a minute and a half to load 5 tabs. When I first downloaded and installed it, these same tabs took less than 10 seconds to load. I have tried clearing my cache and history but nothing seems to help. If it matters, I have been using Firefox for going on 5 years now.
2. Once the program has loaded, '''any''' keyboard shortcuts I use in it (ctrl+a, ctrl+c or v, alt=tab, etc) cause the CPU memory usage of Firefox to spike to 99 or 100 percent. In affect, it freezes my computer for anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds, roughly. It does this usually, but not always, and I frequent all the same sites, so the page I am on does not seem to matter.
3. I have noticed that some of the addons I use with Firefox, mainly Multi Links, lag as well when the above issue is occurring. Not sure if the two are connected in any way (also not sure why that feature is not ''built into Firefox to begin with'') and would have checked this but I will not risk not being able to get back here again. See below.
4. This is unrelated, but I felt it merited some small mention. This is effectively my SIXTH attempt at posting my query. The first time, I created an account and it forwarded me to some page basically saying 'Yup, you're logged in alright.' Then it KEPT doing that every time I tried to flesh out and ask my question, until I navigated COMPLETELY away from the page ''four times'' and attempted this one last time. Very frustrating. I even tried going to Live Chat for help, but somehow got off the chat window page and then suddenly chat was closed... right. Anyway, point being, it was difficult to get this posted and it has me even more annoyed. >.<
I have always loved Firefox because it was faster and more reliable than IE. But here recently... it just seems to be going downhill. For instance, I have seen others ask questions about what's going on with the plugin container and that stupid flash plugin - I happen to have that issue rather severely, to the point that I must leave Flash off entirely until I ''have to'' turn it back on (which is wearing down my last nerve, I might add, since I use sites that require that particular plugin daily), and while I did see a couple rather nice solutions about editing/tweaking internal Firefox settings, I must profess that I am nowhere near competent or comfortable enough to even think about attempting them. Furthermore, I do not believe I should be required to make such changes in order to get the program to function properly and risk ruining it completely so that I have to uninstall and reinstall just so I have Firefox. This is all rather exasperating, and judging from the replies I saw on those topics, I do not expect much help here (a couple of people were rather rude on one of those topics, I am afraid I am a minority here, not knowing my way around program language and all =( ). My main goal is to make you aware, if you are not already, that issues exist and if you have tried anything on your end to rectify them, it has not worked for some. I am at my wit's end here, I do not know what else to do to try to solve these issues other than clear cache and history, restart Firefox, so on and so forth. *sigh* I'm seriously thinking about going back to IE, and you have no idea how much that really ticks me off; I think, out of all of this, even all my wasted time, that's what upsets me the most.

Issues of this sort are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like them to be. However, they tend not to be cause by Firefox itself, but rather by software that is running either inside or alongside it, such as add-ons or firewalls. Since these issues have a broad span of possible causes, you need to diagnose your problems before fixing them. Follow these instructions ''to the line'', as they'll probably help you diagnose and fix the problems you're having.
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your problem, be it with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with add-ons (plugins, themes or extensions). Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix your problem, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions (go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Find Updates''), themes and plugins (see [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ this page] in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). This is temporary and for diagnostic purposes only. Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you actually want that plugin to be enabled. It's best to keep the overall number of enabled plugins as low as possible. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. If you need support for a problematic plugin, you need to contact its author for support;
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you actually want that extension to be enabled. As with plguins, it's best to keep the overall number of enabled extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. Just the same as with plugins, if you need support for a problematic extension/plugin, you need to contact its author;
#if you've followed my instructions above, you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their authors for support.
Ok, now... ''If'' disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to fix your problems (or, in other words, if you've just read number 1 on the list above and come straight here), then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Detecting which program it is may be tricky, but the following list should help you. Make sure you follow it carefully. Don't forget to answer the question on the last point, if nothing else helps.
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version (for free, as always) at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. Make sure you [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox uninstall Firefox] prior to reinstalling it. For help installing Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox this support article]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Is+my+Firefox+problem+a+result+of+malware?s=malware&as=s this support article] for help on this point. ''This is a very important step'', so please pay attention to it. If your problem is not due to viruses/malware, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in Windows operating systems, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing ''msconfig'' and pressing Enter; now, under the ''Startup'' tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect; if you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check if your firewall/antivirus/security suite is conflicting in any way with Firefox's normal behavior. Check for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be causing problems with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them temporarily to see whether or not that's true. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem, it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#if you are using a Windows operating system, clean up your OS registry using appropriate software. There have been reports that badly maintained Windows Registries may case problems with Firefox. If this doesn't help, see the following point;
#please try creating a new temporary Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the issues persist. Please report the results, so we can help you further.

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

Multiple Issues with my Macbook Pro

Jan 2011- Received my Macbook Pro 15 inch (late 2011 version)
Feb 2011- Overheating issue, laptop started running very slowly without any applications open
Feb 2011- Sent it to Apple US, test was run, no issue found by Apple, they re-installed the OS, piece returned back, seemed to be running normally
Early 2012- Major battery issue, battery would suddenly drop down from 90% to 25% in 5 minutes with hardly any applications open
From late 2012 to present- When the laptop is put to sleep (with screen closed) and is opened after half an hour or longer, the mouse cursor remains stuck on the screen after waking it up. The only way to continue using the laptop is to restart it so that the mouse starts moving again. Every time the laptop is woken up after sleep mode, the speed of all running applications comes down noticeably.
Mid 2013- Replaced the Battery for Rs. 8000/- After using it just for two years
Late 2013- Laptop fan runs at a high speed even though there are no applications open on the system, suspected Temperature sensor issue, Activity monitor shows a particular kernel that is taking up a huge amount of CPU load.
I have only faced issues with my macbook pro and it still doesn't end,Is there any way I can ask for an out of warranty replacement or atleast if there is a permanent solution at an affordable cost? Apple as a brand has set a benchmark , it is only fitting that as loyal apple customers we expect products to exceed expectations in terms of performance and longeivity and not pose as a problem at every turn.There isn't any sense in going on spending on a laptop that costs a bomb already!!!

While you were on the warranty or if you still have it, you should check out the Apple Store. When you had noticed these problems earlier, you should have immediatly reacted upon them, rather than waiting.
